Does any one run T5 ho lighting?
What ballasts are out there that will run the t5 HO lights at optimum performace?
Will any standard ballast run these lights? Can I buy a VHO balast and get it to work.
I know that in the past we have had discussins on this subject, it is the feet and wattage that I need to watch out for?
FOr example I want two 36" T5ho (36" = 39 watts) If I buy a 120 watt ballast will it do the trick?
THis statement is what worries me:
"Can I run T5 HO (High Output) lamps on this? I saw another raw ballast on another site, and it claims to 'run anything'.
A. Well, don't let all the misinformation out there confuse you. This ballast will "run" all those lamps in the question above, however, it's not recommended for T5 due to performance degradation. Sure, the AS-220 will light those lamps, but you will not get the performance out the lights that you think you are getting. Remember, if it claims to "do it all", be wary. With lighting, you should use the proper ballasts to drive the lamps they were designed for. This will give you the best possible performance for your aquarium." -
